So I’ll go first…
I’m Liz (I think you all know that!)
I live in Sydney, Australia. I’m an architect by profession and worked 20 years on a range of residential and commercial developments, specialising in media projects. I’ve always drawn as part of my work but in 2007 discovered watercolour and started my first daily sketchbook. I haven’t stopped sketching since!
I’m very interested in architectural history and theory and drinking tea out of fancy china teacups… but I’m guessing you all know that too!
You can find me on: Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Instagram and Twitter using the buttons under ‘Connect on Social Media’ in the footer of this website.
Now it’s your turn…
Hi
I’ve only just joined on the almost last day so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I live in Lane cove in Sydney Australia, a nice leafy suburb and I started water colour painting classes with Jane Blundell back in 2008. I love it, it’s the highlight of my week. I joined the Sydney Sketch Meetup group last year which I also love and I try to get to urban sketchers whenever possible. Late last year I did an architectural drawing course with Liz Steele and got a lot out of it.
Jennifer, did you go to South Dubbo HS in the 1960s? I knew a Jennifer Foreman there then, she was in the same year.
Anyway, I better get down to some sketching.

HI Jennifer, I really enjoyed looking at your creative experiments! What a treat 🙂
very kind of you to say, Debby
Welcome!
Hi – Jennifer here – I am a late starter in this course but hoping to catch up over the Christmas holidays. During the week I am a legal secretary, film goer, theatre attendee etc but on the weekend I turn into an enthusiastic “art-er” (and sometime workshop participant) since I discovered drawing almost 4 years ago. My holidays these days are with like minded people and so far have taken painting excursions to Outback Queensland and Spain/Portugal. I am honoured to be involved with Sydney Sketch Club and have met many clever and inspirational local artists at the meetups. A few of my creative experiments are at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenn-creative
Hi, I’m Maryam. I live near Melbourne. I just started painting and I love watercolor. I also would love to improve my drawing skills and have a sketch book with myself during our trips. I’m 30 and studied physics.
